Follows the task force to the South Atlantic, through the battles of early May that saw the loss of the Belgrano and the Sheffield, and on to the landings at San Carlos and the eventual surrender of the Argentine garrison.

Drawing on classified government archives as well as interviews with key participants, this first volume of the official history of the Falklands Campaign is an authoritative account of the origins of the 1982 war. It analyses the long history of the dispute between Argentina and Britain over the sovereignty of the Islands.
